    What kind of shinguards do you wear or do pro's wear? I just bought a pair of the Nike Chrome Contour BPS, which are second best to my Cobra Molten Ultralite's. But i was really wondering what kind do pro's wear? I saw a pair of beckham's shinguards, but other than that I have no idea what they wear.

    I have the Nike Vapor Lite...i really like them and their extremely light! although i think i got a size too big because the sleeve is a little loose at the end. What are the shinguards beckham has???

    Beckham has the ADIDAS Silhouette. I've also bought them last year for 15€. They don't have an ankle support, this was why I've bought them because I hate the support.

    I use Nike Team-Guard...the ultra small shin guard that is ultra light but serves me well...although it's designed to cover only 3/4 of my shin..still does the job well and feather light.

    I wear the Nike Air Maximus Maximus, the fit perfectly to my shin. Lotto Stadio is a boot though...

    If I really get tackled hard, having an ankle support or not doesn't really matter.

    Yarr... ankle support is used mostly to help you to run straight without twisting your ankle

    Yeah i got those Beckham Sillouette in the Lunar colour, i got em cos they are light weight while also providing the safe amount of protection. I don't like wearing bulky shinpads. Only problem is that they often slip down my shin as i run and i always put tape round near my ankle to hold them up-only problem is i often end up doing it too tightly and get calf problems as i run, possible cutting off of blood supply??????????????????? :eek:

    how do those sleeves feel over your shinpad? I honestly was under the impression they went behind your shinpad not over it.

    All it is like a big piece of elastic that steches over our shingourd and holds it down it feels the same as if you were just wearing shingaurds.
